One Dry Denver Zone Can Be Pressure or a Mature Hedge
A Lakewood dry strip is often a hedge wall stealing the arc, or a zone that lost pressure. We walk the hedge while the heads run, not from the porch.
Walk the hedge line while the zone is on
One dry Denver zone is not automatically a bad clock. We still find a Lakewood side yard that browned because a privet hedge grew into the spray, while the rest of the valve still throws. We also find the same dry map when the zone lost pressure and every head mists. Those two pictures are not the same repair. Stand at the hedge while it runs.
NationScapes sorts this on sprinkler repairs and maintenance checks. Hedge work that is plant growth, not a broken nozzle, belongs with shrub trimming.
Low pressure and a wall of foliage are different dry maps
Photograph the running heads, the hedge face, and the dry turf. If every head on the valve looks weak, think pressure, a stuck valve, or a leak on that lateral. If only the strip behind the hedge is dry, think foliage and head height. Adding August minutes will not push water through a wall of leaves. Controller minutes that never left May are a different post, dated August 24.
Towns include Denver and Highlands Ranch. Layout changes sit under sprinkler design when the hedge is staying and the heads have to move.
What to send
A wide shot of the dry strip, a close shot of the hedge, and a controller photo. Call 303-934-9130 or contact us. More reading is on the blog.
Name whether the dry Denver zone is pressure or a mature hedge. Then the repair is a head, a valve, or a prune, not a longer program.
